Token F-190A-2A OH

Coin Details

Description

This Civil War token is cataloged as Fuld 190A-2A from Ohio. This Ohio version of the 190A-2A die combination is distinct from the Michigan token sharing the same Fuld number (PCGS #943137), as the state section differentiates tokens from different geographic origins. The Ohio 190A-2A represents the second die combination for this obverse within the Ohio catalog, contributing to the state's vast Civil War token census. The token tradition in America encompasses an extraordinary range of purposes, from merchant advertising and transportation fare to gaming, amusement, loyalty programs, and commemorative distribution. Advanced token collectors develop expertise in recognizing die states, striking characteristics, and surface qualities that distinguish original productions from later restrikes, copies, and fabrications. Ohio and Michigan tokens occasionally share die numbers when the sequential numbering happens to coincide, but each state section is independently organized in the Fuld catalog.
